2005 Spätburgunder M, Markus Schneider, Ellerstadt – Follow Up

IMG_7920

Diesen Wein hatte ich schon mehrmals probiert, zuletzt  im Juni 2009 wo ich Ihn eigentlich in seiner optimalen Phase sah. Diesen Blogpost von Barry nahm ich nun zum Anlass meine letzte Flasche dieses Weins zu öffnen. Read the rest of this entry »

2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Markus Schneider: Time to say goodbye!?!

IMG_3697

Das ist nun die vorletzte Flasche vom 06er Sauvignon vom Markus Schneider aus Ellerstadt. Ab in den Dekanter damit (mit 2 Kühlaggregaten drunter = mein Patent!). Anfangs wirkt er überreif, kernig und unangenehm bitter auch im Finish. Nebenbei zeigt er für meine Begriffe gar keine Sauvignon Typizität mehr außer einer sehr präsenten Säure. Ist der schon über den Jordan? Erst mal in der Karaffe lassen und zweite Chance geben. Read the rest of this entry »

Last Stopover: Munich

IMG_3516
Every Winedrinker needs a break. Good opportunities come up in Bavarian beer gardens for example. Here the Seehaus in the Englischer Garten in Munich just after a light shower.

Or at the Augustinerkeller beergarden where I was sitting on Franz’ place, sorry bout’ that Franz! (German Stammtisch-culture at its best) Read the rest of this entry »

Random Bottles Wine Tasting

The 2007 Deidesheimer Grosse Hohl GG by Mosbacher is a powerful Riesling. Vibrant and musculous, yet with enough fruit and a beautiful acidity to balance it. Nice presence and nice length. Able to compete within Germany’s Riesling top league.

Great Wines Gala in Berlin

IMG_2539

A week ago I spontaneously decided to hurry to Berlin on Sunday for attending the “Gala Grosser Weine”, a wine presentation organized by a local wine store where many top German and international winemakers were presenting their products. It was a great event! Out of the German winemakers I already knew many and previously tried their wines at more close by presentations and thus the core attractions to me were big international names like Giacosa, Château Canon, Ridge, Moric or even Château La Nerthe. Can you understand my excitement? Read the rest of this entry »

2007 Chardonnay, Markus Schneider, Ellerstadt, Pfalz

IMG_1113

Vor ein paar Monaten noch schien mir dieser Chardonnay etwas unbalanciert oder “grün hinter den Ohren”. Nun eine erneute Probe in seinem zweiten Lebensjahr: In der Nase grüner Apfel der manchmal auch nach karamellisiertem Apfel riecht. Ab und zu etwas stoffig-stinkig, aber im positivem Sinne.
